Get high IOPS at sub-millisecond latencies on random reads
and writes with dynamic caching of active data and a write
optimized data layout.
2. Maximize storage utilization and efficiency
to control costs
Store 30 to 75 percent more data—mailboxes, databases,
application and end-user files—in the same storage space with
inline universal compression without any performance impact.
3. Bring applications to production quicker and lower
risk of failed projects
Create individual test and development environments without
taking up much additional space by instantaneously cloning
entire volumes including production databases using spaceefficient Nimble Storage zero copy clones.
4. Protect your investment and scale storage performance and capacity to meet growing mailboxes,
additional transactions and file growth
Non-disruptively and independently grow storage capacity by
adding additional storage shelves, and increase performance
by upgrading storage controllers and the flash SSD cache.
5. Protect more critical data and keep months of online
backups without the complexity of a separate backup
storage solution
6. Deploy affordable disaster recovery and keep key
applications up and running
Efficiently replicate data over the LAN or WAN to a secondary
system with the ability to fail over quickly if needed.
7. Get optimal performance, reliability and protection
right out of the box
Use pre-optimized storage settings and application
templates for simplifying operation and protection—
minimizing worries about correctly setting parameters
such as RAID levels, tiering, and backup policies.
8. Benefit from proven pre-validated Nimble Storage

software, performance, and capacity upgrades
Minimize or even eliminate planned downtime with
non-disruptive software and hardware upgrades, and
highly available controllers.
Do away with traditional backup windows and increase
retention periods for applications such as Exchange 2010,
with efficient, instant, and application-consistent backups
and restores.
